# Tkinter Layout Helpers

A library which is intended to simplify a placement of widgets with `.grid()` and `.pack()` methods:
- avoid manual calculation of indices of columns and rows when you add a widget;
- avoid typing-in some common parameters (like `sticky=tk.EW`) each time you add a widget;
- and more...
Work in progress.
As an example, this code:
```python
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter_layout_helpers.grid_helper import grid_manager
root = tk.Tk()
with grid_manager(root, sticky=tk.EW) as grid:
with grid.new_row() as row:
row.add(tk.Label(text="0", width=20))
row.add(tk.Label(text="1", width=20))
row.add(tk.Label(text="2", width=20))
row.add(tk.Label(text="3", width=20))
row.add(tk.Label(text="4", width=20))
with grid.new_row() as row:
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(4)
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(1)
with grid.new_row() as row:
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(3)
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(2)
with grid.new_row() as row:
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(2)
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(3)
with grid.new_row() as row:
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(1)
row.add(tk.Entry()).set_column_span(4)
for column in grid.columns:
column.configure(weight=1)
root.mainloop()
```
Gives the following result:
Example for the `pack_manager`:
```python
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter_layout_helpers import pack_manager
root = tk.Tk()
with pack_manager(root, fill=tk.BOTH) as packer:
packer.pack_left(tk.Label(text="Left bar", relief=tk.RAISED))
packer.pack_top(tk.Label(text="Top bar", relief=tk.RAISED))
packer.pack_bottom(tk.Label(text="Bottom bar", relief=tk.RAISED))
packer.pack_right(tk.Label(text="Right bar", relief=tk.RAISED))
packer.pack_expanded(tk.Text())
root.mainloop()
```
Result:
